1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to stuff 2 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: I've never told to your protection of I Heart Radio's 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: House to Parks. I want to start this episode off 4 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: with a very important question. I'm got to what's your 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: favorite color? So I vary. I'm one of those I 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: could never really decide exactly what I liked. But I 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: went from yellow to red to purple within the space 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: of how much time I want to say, So that's 9 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: always interchanges. Its according to the day you switch out. 10 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: I do. And those are the three that I usually 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: go back to. But every now and then that the 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: Royal blue will come in. But typically those three about you? 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: What is your favorite color? Mine is green, but it's 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: very closely followed by blue, very closely followed by blue. 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: I remember that question where it I used to do 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: this thing. I've probably done it to you because I 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: do it every time I'm tipsy, where I asked like 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: a series of questions and then I tell you what 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: the questions really mean. You've done that with me. Oh, 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: I'll do it, and I'll tell you all about yourself. 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: You have so many comes on your tipsy Maybe it's 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: just it's a specific mood. Okay, but one of the 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: questions is, imagine you're in a room and it's different 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: shades of your favorite color. How do you feel. Oh, 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: it's according to that color, so it would change based 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: on the color. Oh that's interesting. Well, then my test 27 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: is out the window. But it's also a silly test. 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: But by what would have been meant? Um So for me, 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: when I think of a room in various shades of 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: my favorite color, I feel anxious and uncomfortable. And it's 31 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: supposed to represent your state of mind. Oh, I got you, 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: Because if you're in a good state of mine, your 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: favorite color will calm you down or you'll feel nice happy. 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: This is all nonsense, spideways act. So one of my offices, 35 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: I got to paint it and I painted it yellow, 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: and I meant to do it like in a pale, 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: like calming, not over the top, but it was so 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: bright that I had to keep the light off. I 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: didn't realize that bright. I was also next to like 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: two windows, so it wasn't awful, but it was just 41 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: so brightly. Yeah, I'm not happy enough for this right now. 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: I can't handle this right now, and that we just 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: turn it off and just sit in darkness. And the 44 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: yellow glow of the fields about right now, Yeah, okay, 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: this color psychology is passing. My little brother's dream when 46 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: he was growing up was um bright yellow and then red. 47 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: At one point I thought that was kind of weird. 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: In mine was like a melancholy blue, I would call it. 49 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: My older brothers was white. All right, I was gonna 50 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: say my I think my parents kept my room when 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: I was growing up a mov or a cream color, 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: very seventies, very seventies, like, because you know, avocado green 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: was at my bathroom color, so it was very fair seventies. 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: So for a girl, that had to be mauv and cream. Well, 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: today we are talking about a very specific color, and 56 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: that is red. Red my other favorite color. That's right, um. 57 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: And a long time ago, when I was the video 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: producer for this very show, we did a video about 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: the power of red and why is red kind of 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: this sexy, dangerous power color, But we didn't do a 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: podcast on it. So here it is boom and it's 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: inspired partly by the woman in Red from the Matrix, 63 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: which I just rewatched within the past two days for 64 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the first time in many many years, held up sad 65 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: what happened to it, but held, look I've had I've 66 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: watched it, like I think I watched it every two years, 67 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: just on instinct. I just keep watching it because it 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: was one of it was it came out I think 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: my senior year of high school. That inventates me so 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: shut up, um, But it was our group. It was 71 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: our favorite movie. We would watch it all the time 72 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: and quote it all the time, which is so ridiculous because, 73 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: of course none of us are as cool as Kiana 74 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: Monotone Kiano Reeves. Of course I love Kiano Reeves. If 75 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: you're listening to this, come say hay to me. Well, 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: I similar to my Ryan Gosling thing. He I was 77 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: on that train before you became super trendy. Yeah, you 78 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: and I had a debate and you won every bit 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: of it. I took a picture, one of those polaroid 80 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: like print out pictures of me with KIANU Reeves in 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: the background. Right, that's how terrible my crush was on him. 82 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: And from the matrix. And then I I won't say 83 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: what the email address was, but I have a very 84 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: embarrassing my first email address. Can you at least give 85 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: us the beginning. It's a little bit it has angel 86 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: in it. Oh no, you probably guess it from there. 87 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: But um, anyway, it was my favorite. And this is 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: an accident or being accidentally timely, because they just announced 89 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: that the fourth MOVI be there's going to be a 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: fourth movie. The original actors of the Matrix. Yes, seriously, 91 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: the third one was so bad, well that I described 92 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: it from my memories. That's how bad. Super producer Andrew 93 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: and I were just talking about that. Um, he hasn't 94 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: even seen it at all, the first one, the third one. Um. 95 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, so they just announced that and then also 96 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: it's the twentieth anniversary of the Matrix. But anyway, part 97 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: of the Matrix is this woman in Red, the simulated 98 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: character that mouse, who is the youngest character in their 99 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: little little crew. Um, he designed it her. It's complicated 100 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: to talk about this movie if you haven't seen it, 101 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: but we'll try. He designed her and is obsessed with her, 102 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: and her presence is used as a distraction during the 103 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: agent training program. So the agents are bad, right. The 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: training program is a simulation where they take in neo 105 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: Kana reviews. Look at the agent can take over anybody, 106 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: even this sexy lady in a retro US and she's 107 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: not real. No, she's not real. Your reality is not real. 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: That's kind of the basis of the movie. The reality 109 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: is not real. Um. And this, this woman in red 110 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: is very flirty. She's got like big bouncy blonde hair, 111 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: very sexual, and she stands in start contrast to the 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: rest of the crowd here are kind of in neutral black. Right. Yeah, um, 113 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, stops to take her in, looks away, and 114 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: Morpheus says, look I get and you know, turns back 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: to have an agent pointing a gun in his face. 116 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: So it's a very kind of iconic. He just calls 117 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: her like, were you even were you paying attention? Or 118 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at the woman in the red dress? And 119 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: then um, if we look at Battlestar Galactica six, um, 120 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: she's a pretty big example of someone wearing red that's 121 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: iconic and very in contrast to everyone else that she's 122 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: also very sexual. I believe it's been a long time 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: since I've seen that show, but I believe she often 124 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: used sexual reality as her power. I've never seen that show. Well, 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: I believe that is true. The lady in the sixth 126 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: sense that killed her stepdaughter spoiler alerts also why I 127 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: wear red to a funeral. That's very suspicious. Um. Yeah. 128 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: And then that rabbit, lady, are you talking about Jessica Rabbit, who, 129 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: by the way, is not a rabbit. I just just 130 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: to clarify, she's not a rabbit in this cartoon movie Hybrid, 131 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: which I love. We I've talked a lot about Roger 132 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: Rabbit in the last two weeks. I feel like, well, 133 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: between like talking about the dance to talking about people 134 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: were dressing up as that when we were at disney 135 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: World and I was like, oh, look that's Jessica Rabbit. 136 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: You're like Samantha will challenge you to the Roger Rabbit dance, 137 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: which I didn't know it was a thing. Yeah. I 138 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: tried to get a couple of people do it. A 139 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: couple of people did do it. I did. I feel 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: like I won that one. I think you did too, 141 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: um I. And also on a personal level, I have 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: a red dress that when I wear it, nearly everyone 143 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: brings it up and not like a creep be way. 144 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: I always are just kinda like, look at that red dress. Um. 145 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: And some mentioned there's somebody in the office is always 146 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: like the woman in red from the Matrix. UM. Since 147 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: we were talking about clowns. Recently, I thought about the 148 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: red balloon and it right, and that's really significant because 149 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: it's floating around randomly as a taunting Yeah, and that's 150 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: not of the examples we've given. Most of these have 151 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 1: been sexy. But that's an example of a frightening uh 152 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: the power of red and the danger of red, which 153 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: we're also gonna be talking about. I wanted to note 154 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: this is not inspired by the movie the same name 155 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: that I did not know existed until we did this research. 156 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: Chaz Um Guildner Radner and that dude, good job that 157 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: she's very She was married too, BLI j Wanka Gene Wilder, 158 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. And it was seemed to be universally panned. 159 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to call out the movie. I had 160 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: never seen it, but that was the consensus I got. 161 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: And one time I was wearing that red dress, somebody 162 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: told me I looked like Jenniferiston. I about died. I 163 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: think that's the best celebrity comparison I've ever gotten. She 164 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: wear a red dress, I don't remember. I think she 165 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: wore one at some Oscar thing or some awards ceremony. Interesting, 166 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know that Jessica Chastain just recently 167 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: wore red to an award thing and people are dying 168 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: over it. Really, of course she's beautiful, you know, whatever, yeah, 169 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: and whatever, whatever better. All right. So, as far as 170 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: color psychology goes, red has a lot going on for it, 171 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: perhaps more than any other color. If you think about 172 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: seeings like red herring, red flag, red handed, red ink, 173 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: red pill paint, the town, red seeing, red, red carpet, 174 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: red shirt, scarlet woman, the horror Babylon by the way, 175 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: scarlet letter, the red apple, red stop lights, red stop signs, red, 176 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: the red light district. Um, I've got red in my 177 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: ledger in there now I have to. It's in my 178 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: contract as it uh. And I want to include this 179 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: from the Bible about the Horror Babylon. And the woman 180 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with 181 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup 182 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: in her hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. 183 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of 184 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. 185 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Mhmm. 186 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Indeed a revelation. And uh, I did want to include 187 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: here because we're not really talking about this today, but 188 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: Pass host Chris and Caroline did do an episode on 189 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: redheads and the stereotypes around them. If you want to 190 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: search something, one of the things that says red his stepchild. 191 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: So I'm assuming there's a lot of their connotations to 192 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: both being redhead and just red in general. Yeah, and 193 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: I also I feel like redheads are frequently sexualized. Um. Yes, 194 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: yes we are, as I've seen them all through supernatural whatever. Um. 195 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: According to Google, red is the first color humans perceived 196 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: after white and black, and it's the first colored baby seat, 197 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: and for many is still used as a symbol of love. 198 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: So I think that's really significant. Oh. Absolutely. The power 199 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: over red has a long history. Women in ancient Africa 200 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: used red hawker to represent fertility, Hunters from the Stone 201 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: Age used red clay as a bodied paint, and in 202 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: the Paleolithic period the dead were buried with red powder, 203 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: the belief being it warded off evil spirits or maybe 204 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: for the smell, or maybe for both. Ard to say, um, 205 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: red is seen as good luck in China and historically 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: ancient emperors believed it was a royal color, the fire element. 207 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: Chinese brides wear red two weddings. In ancient Roman times, 208 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: brides wore red shawls to symbolize fidelity and love. When 209 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: Christianity came along, Christians associated red with the blood of Christ. 210 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: Royalty wore the color to emphasize that their rule was 211 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: ordained by God. Reportedly, several of these royals forbade the 212 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: common folk from wearing red do to the high cost 213 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: of the die, so it became associated with the rich 214 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: Charlotamagne and Louis the fourteenth and their red shoes for instance. Guy. 215 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: In situations where people challenge the SATs quolled like revolutions, 216 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: revolutionaries frequently adopt red to French revolution great example in 217 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: Burkina Faso. It's a sign of bad luck though, and 218 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: so it's not always right. And I thought it was 219 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: fascinating about the Chinese idea behind red and that it 220 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: was the fire element. But also I love the fact 221 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: that the leadership used it in their robes. I think 222 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: I think it's like that Leving that of the thirteen 223 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: rulers or whatever actually used that as part of their 224 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: signed up leadership and aggression, and of course both could 225 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: be good or bad. It could be in nature, red 226 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: has all kinds of meanings. It can signal danger when 227 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: it comes to blood. It could signal warmth of a fire, 228 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: the setting of the sun, the ripeness or toxicity of 229 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: certain berries. Humans flushed when angry, embarrassed, or turned on. 230 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,239 Speaker 1: It's a color associated with fertility, like think the Handmaids 231 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: to A study looking into male esist macam monkeys found 232 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: that they avoid red or act submissively in its presence, 233 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: and among mangel monkeys, the one with the red is 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: face is the most dominant. You do not mess with 235 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: that one. In bullfighting, the bull is taunted by a 236 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: red cape. And there has been a surprising amount of 237 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: research on the power of red. And it's found that 238 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: red is big in three main areas, sex, achievement, and dominance. 239 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: So let's talk about sex. Yeah, you know a lot 240 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: of that. So red is from a lure. Red is 241 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: not a color you way when you're feeling shy, You 242 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: swipe on red lipstick or put on a red dress 243 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: when you want to be noticed. It's sexy, but it 244 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: started not the mirror. After all. It's also the color 245 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: of stop signs or of anger or extreme heat. Apple A, 246 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm wearing my red lipstick right now in honor of 247 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: this episode. I'm wearing my red. Yeah, we are. We're 248 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: rocking it on today just because it's like, yeah, I 249 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: love and I'll talk a little more about it. But 250 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: the idea of coming to where red, it took me 251 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: a long time to actually step up to being like, yeah, 252 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: I can pull this off. But yeah, it's kind of 253 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: like I feel good, I feel sassy. Let's do this. 254 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: It's an attention grabber for sure. Um, And before we 255 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: get into red and sex and love and all of 256 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: that stuff too, and death, we're gonna pause for a 257 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: quick break for word from our sponsor and we're back. 258 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor. So, if you think about pink, pink 259 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: is frequently used to symbolize love, and red is too, 260 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: But I feel like red has a more sexual, lustful overtone. 261 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: Red lipstick, red nails, red heels, red dress, red roses. 262 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: Studies have found that men rate women in red as 263 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: more attractive, desirable, and sexually available, and it goes both ways, 264 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: and women reported finding men in red more attractive. According 265 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: to a study, waitresses in red received fifteen to higher 266 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: tips because they were perceived as better looking. A sixteen 267 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: study did not bear out the link between the color 268 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: red and sex, so more research is needed. I will 269 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: say I do rock this red lips like we were 270 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: just talking about, as well as usually a red shirt 271 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: when I'm bartending to get more tips, and even if 272 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: it just boost my confidence a bit more, it makes 273 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: me feel a little more lively. Could you feel like 274 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: I get a little better tips? Huh? While there we 275 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: go anecdotal example, Another study found female hitchhikers wearing red 276 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: had a better chance of getting a ride. Another interesting 277 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: study found that when judges looked at mug shots, even 278 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: though they couldn't see the color in the photos because 279 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: they're they're black and white, they rated people wearing red 280 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: more highly. Researchers speculate that is because the people wearing 281 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: red held themselves more confidently are in a more sexual position. 282 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: It's fascinating. A study from found that women viewed other 283 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: women in red dresses um as more threatening, promiscuous, and 284 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: fair game for insults. Women were more prepared to financially 285 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: punish the woman in red as compared to men. However, 286 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: a lot of that had to do with the shape, fit, 287 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and sexiness of the dress. If it was sort of 288 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: more conservative red dress, the judgment wasn't as harsh. Once 289 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: survey found that more reported choosing to wear red for 290 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: a date. More women reported choosing to wear a red 291 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: for a date as opposed to non date situations. Researchers 292 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: found that women wearing red lipstick are more likely to 293 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: be approached at a bar compared to other colors of 294 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: lipstick are no lipstick at all. The heightened contrast helps 295 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: draw more attention to I know we've talked about makeup 296 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: three on the show before makeup there. That's fun. But 297 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: that's fun. Yeah, that's fun. It DAWs attention to you know, 298 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: your sexualized features. Yeah, well not all of them are sexualized. 299 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: But you know, one of my relatives once told me 300 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: only prostitutes or red lipstick. You know, I've had weird 301 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: comments like that to me too. I think, um, I 302 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: do rock a lot of the red lipstick and it 303 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: becomes It became a thing for me about six or 304 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: seven years ago, after telling so many people I couldn't 305 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: pull it off, And what I'm actually meant was that 306 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: I didn't feel comfortable enough and wearing it because um, 307 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: it felt like I was trying to get attention because 308 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: obviously that's bad, right, so bad. But then it kind 309 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: of became a thing for me as a hey, i'm 310 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: feeling sassy, messed with me at your own risk, and 311 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: it kind of became part of my personality. Even at 312 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: my actual job as a social worker, people know me 313 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: about my red lipstick, and if I'm not wearing it, 314 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: they'll be like, what's wrong. That's the first thing they 315 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: asked me. I'm I'm going what And they a might like, oh, 316 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: she's sassy, she's ready to go today, and I'm like, okay, 317 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: that's how you perceive me because I'm wearing it. Weird color, 318 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: a different shade of lipstick cool. Um. And having said that, 319 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: there's also seemingly weird reaction people from people who have 320 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: decided that red is sexual and for someone who wears it, um, 321 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: it's wearing their sexuality on their lips, which I mean, 322 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: I get it. There's a lot of connotations with lips 323 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: and sexuality in general, and I do like my lips. 324 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: I have thicker, fuller lips than some. Um. But even 325 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: to the point that the advice articles argue over whether 326 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: they're wearing red lipstick is a negative or positive for 327 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: job interviews, and I found that fascinating. A few hundred 328 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: years ago, red lipstick was spanned by Parliament as witchcraft 329 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: time to practice in which right, let's red lipstick, I mean, obviously, 330 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's really interesting when I was reading 331 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: through several of these articles about how many women had 332 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: to make a bold decision to wear a red lipstick 333 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: and how life changing it was, and how many felt 334 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: they just couldn't pull it off. And once again, that 335 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: was one of the things I've said, one of the 336 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: things many people have said to me, just because it's 337 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: such a different look to actually see yourself in a 338 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: highlighted manner. I guess, yeah, contrasting, yeahating, Yeah, there are 339 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: a lot of articles out there about when to wear 340 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: red in work situations, and we'll get into a little 341 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: bit of that. Another study from twelve found that women 342 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: who were read in their profile pictures on dating apps 343 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: are sites were more likely to report interest in casual sex. Similarly, 344 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: another study found that sites with a bigger focus on 345 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: hookups and casual sex featured more women wearing red. And 346 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting that red is both the 347 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: color of love and the color of hate. Um Cupid 348 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: and the Devil. The results of one test seemed to 349 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: suggest that the presence of red may intensify the experience 350 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: of pain. It's also pretty interesting, uh, if we look 351 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: at achievement, research shows that even a flash of the 352 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: color red before performance or test can induce avoidance and 353 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: worse performance, probably because of its associations with mistakes and failures. Yeah, 354 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: I know many teachers that have gone from red pins 355 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: to blue pins because of the many conversations about whether 356 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: red pins were too demeaning and psychologically damaging. There seems 357 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: to be a lot of back and forth at the 358 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: validity of the idea, and research seems to be, of 359 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: course inconclusive. But the whole idea of teachers being interpreted 360 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: as being mean or too art as well as well 361 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: as the fact that if they great and red, they're 362 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: more not likely to give a negative mark on their 363 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: own perception. So it seems kind of an interesting aspect. 364 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: But I know, like I said, my sister who is 365 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: a teacher, oftentimes won't use red anymore. It's all blue ink. 366 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: That is interesting. My dad was a college professor and 367 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: he had a red rubber stamp that said rubbish. See 368 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: right there, so demeaning. He was like a super nice teacher. 369 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: But I think that was when if you just clearly 370 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: put in no effort, it's like it's just a blank page. 371 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: It's pretty much just a Wikipedia page on their Compared 372 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: to white or blue chips, when you're gambling, people tend 373 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: to bet more with red chips. Yet, other studies have 374 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: found that wearing red can boost your confidence and productivity, 375 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: and red is found to be the color of dominance 376 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: as well. Researchers reached that conclusion after analyzing athletes in 377 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: the two thousand four Olympics, and the finding was especially 378 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: true in close contact sports. A study found that people 379 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: associated wearing red with being aggressive and angry. And there 380 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: is another study into sports that came before this one, 381 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: I think specifically wrestling. I found a similar stuff. I 382 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: will say, as an actor, I have been advised not 383 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: to wear red in auditions because it is too aggressive. 384 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: But in other business settings, red is a power color. 385 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: I think of the red power tie. Oh my gosh, 386 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: this comes up an embarrassing amount of politics. The red 387 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: tie versus the time sleep versus the black city. Oh 388 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm sure a lot of you have heard 389 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: about the power of red and advertising. You can just 390 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: look at how many products and corporations use red and 391 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: countries that use red in their flags. It's a lot. 392 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of you have also heard 393 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: that driving red sports cars drives up your insurance. But 394 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: from what I understand, this is more of an urban legend, 395 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: but still telling of how we perceive red. And I 396 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: think I've heard that a lot of times you're more 397 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: likely to be pulled over having a red car. And 398 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: now we want to talk about some media. But first 399 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna pause for one more quick break for reform 400 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: a sponsor, and we're back, Thank you, sponsor. When we're 401 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: talking about red in our media, things do you get 402 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: a little more interesting? There are plenty of sexy, lustful examples, 403 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: but also things get more complicated. And consider how red 404 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: is often the villains color, although the villain can also 405 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: and often is if it's a woman's sexual right, um, 406 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: the red lightsaber as the color for the sith. And yes, 407 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: everyone's freaking out right now because the new chailer came 408 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: out and Ray has double red lightsaber. What does it mean? 409 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: Accidentally timely again. Okay, the evil right, you know, I've 410 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: never watched the evil Jedi has a red lightsaber. Um. 411 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: Some historians think that this, this association with red and 412 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: evil might be left over animosity towards the red uniforms 413 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: of the British during the American Revolutionary War, or from 414 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: the Red Scare and the Cold War both probably also 415 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: just with that anger and blood, those kind of associations. Um. Yeah, 416 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: if you look at Jafar, Gualdeville, the Queen of Hearts, 417 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: Mother Goffel, Professor Radigan, Gaston, Captain Hook, the thief and 418 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: the Cobbler, the villains and those anger and inside out, 419 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: not really a villain, but he's red. Agree. Yes. In 420 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: a film, a lot of red is often meant to 421 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: be unsettling, a signal that's something bad it's about to happen, 422 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: like in two thousand one A Space Odyssey or x 423 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: Makina or The Descent, but Um, often inverted to her 424 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: is given an example of red being less of a 425 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: menacing color and more of a positive color. Um. Yeah, 426 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: I kept thinking while we were doing this, I've never 427 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: heard this song lady in Red lady, And yeah, well, 428 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: but I have seen the Sadels. Get where Kristin Wig is. Oh, 429 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: she's she's not hold of She's calculately give red. I 430 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: don't know. She's a talk show host that she sings 431 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Lady no Red that makes fun of her. Coh, I 432 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: missed that one. Yeah, Mulan rouge um six again from 433 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: Balstar Galactica. Even if you haven't seen this show, you've 434 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: probably seen images of her, tall, thin, white woman with 435 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: blonde hair, striking high contrast red dress. And yes, I 436 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: leave spoiler alert. Their cylons who use seduction to get 437 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: what they want, and that probably makes no sense to 438 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: anyone who hasn't seen that show. Basically their robots. Yeah, 439 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: I kind of understo what slons. I don't know. I'm 440 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: just trying to be inclusive to it. Thank you, But 441 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: outside of that, I would not know. You are right, 442 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: I try. And that red dress, by the way, sold 443 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: for twenty three thousand dollars. Really yeah um red riding 444 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: hood at the spell Lining Adventures of Sabrina. I feel 445 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: like they use a lot of red in that show, 446 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: especially in like high contrast, because most of it's very 447 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: dark and then you have this pretty bright blood color. 448 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: Red um color theory and Harry Potter Red is bravery, 449 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: courage and recklessness, um, Schindler's List, The Shining Yeah, actually, 450 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: and Kill Bill, which has an entire scene in black 451 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: and white where she's fighting the entire Japanese mob essentially, 452 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: and it flicks back on real quick and you see 453 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: the massive bloody spectacle American beauty. They used that with 454 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: the idea of the young Temptress, since City actually uses 455 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: it much like Schindler's List, Pleasantville does. It is very 456 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: on the nose about sin and liveliness and colorful life 457 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: um as well. Yeah, and then and superheroes of course, 458 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: of course you've got Captain America, Iron Man Thor Spiderman, 459 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: Black Widow with her hair but also her belt to 460 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: get blonde sometimes though yeah, well that was her disguise. 461 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: Oh I'm so sorry. Clearly, if you die, very eye 462 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: catching hair, a blonde color much better than you. That's 463 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: also in Captain America group heard get with It A. 464 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: Koyer from Black Panther, Aunt Man the Wasp, star Lord 465 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: Dr Strange. Also heroes clearly just want a redhead because 466 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: it's Mary. Jan Pepper Pots April from Teenage Mutant, Ninja Turtles, 467 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: Jean Gray Black Widow. Yeah, the Redhead Finn Fatal. That's 468 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: kind of the theme for many, many, many, many many movies. 469 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: So that's like bad versus evil, good versus evil, bad 470 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: versus worse through that movie. But yeah, it feels like 471 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: that's a huge like that's the the one, the mermaid, 472 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: the one, the Mermaidia. And with the media that looking 473 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: through art because we already talked about some of the 474 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: dyes that they used in some types of minerals. But 475 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: there's a lot of theory and ideas about the power 476 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: and a pill of red and art as in fact, 477 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: it seems artwork that is in red get higher beds 478 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: than any other color types. The origins in history is 479 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 1: fascinating for sure, from the use of it in the 480 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: cave paintings to the lead paint use by Vay and Go, 481 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: and the costs in the history is really expensive. They 482 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: even used as specific rand mineral because you talked about 483 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,479 Speaker 1: earlier to smear on victorious gladiators to parade throughout the village, 484 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: which I thought was weird and much like media, red 485 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: is a heavy symbol within many works of art. The 486 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: idea of many deep dark red is the thought to 487 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: once again represent anger and rage, while the lighter versions 488 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: are thought of as love and feminality. Not right, I suppose. 489 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: I guess Valentine's Day tells me so so many things. 490 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: Just red and deep think for all everything, everything, but 491 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: the deep dark red is passion and the lighter as 492 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: we're all true love. Yes, maybe anger and passion. I 493 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: guess there's right there. Yeah, that's true. Um. And I 494 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: did want to include some other stuff before we have 495 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: our closing closing arguments on red um. We have talked 496 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: before about the Red Dress Project and are Missing and 497 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: Murdered Indigenous Women episode. The Red Dress Project uses red 498 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: dresses to memorialize the missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. 499 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: And then there's Red AIDS awareness in Africa. And there's 500 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: also Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association's theme 501 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: to raise awareness for women and heart disease. So red 502 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: is a powerful color, and I feel, especially for women, 503 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: when you choose to wear red, there are all of 504 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: the assumptions um put on you for that. And it 505 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: does branch out into both social life when it comes 506 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: to dating or not even dating, but people think maybe 507 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: oh it's actually available or um. And then in our 508 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: media from what we the messages we receive about what 509 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: this color means, and then that kind of trickles out 510 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: into our work lives because, as we said, there are 511 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: so many articles out there about when wearing red is 512 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: good and when it is not in a professional setting. 513 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: And it seems but most everything I read said about read, um, 514 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: it's a statement. It's a bold like it's a choice. 515 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: You're looking, people are going to notice it, and so 516 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: you shouldn't wear it. I don't know that if this 517 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: is true. But it said unless you want to make 518 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: a real mark, if you have like a big presentation 519 00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: about a project that you're working on. Yes, but otherwise right, 520 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: But that's so fascinating that we have all of this rules, 521 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: these rules tied up with red, and especially with the 522 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: women wearing red. It's a powerful thing. Apparently red is dynamic, 523 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: eye catching, the third most noticeable colors. So I guess 524 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: it does say some things. It does say some things. 525 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: I like red. I know it says, uh, this is 526 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: a power color, and you will hear me. Damn it, 527 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm sassy, bring it. That's what it says about me. 528 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: There we go, Well, that's what we have to say 529 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: about the power of Red, but we would love to 530 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: hear any stories you have. Oh no, I apologize, it's 531 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: everybody's head you did this. I feel like every episode 532 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: we do something terrible. Song well, I don't know it's terrible, 533 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: but it'll be suck in your head and that will 534 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: be terrible. It's too late and I can't edit, so no, 535 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: we don't know how to edit things. Andrew is not 536 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: here for any good reason, just to give us weird looks. Fair, yes, 537 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: totally fair.
